Holy cow we made it! Brian Kachinsky and I just got back from Iraq and Kuwait and all I can say is WOW. Talk about a life changing and rewarding experience. We were over there doing demos to help entertain the troops. It was the first time BMX had been brought out to Iraq. We met so many Amazing soliders, had such a great time, and gained a new found respect for the men and women serving in the armed forces around the world. We gave away 6 complete DK bikes, made tons of new friends, and rode BMX in places and on things that have never been ridden on before. Check out some of the pictures:

BK and Catfish in front of one of Saddam Hussien’s palaces in Baghdad. Note the bomb damage.

A lot of new friends in Baghdad and 5 people that should not have weapons. Dave Osato, Mike Escamilla, BK, Chad Kagy, and Catfish.

We saw more helicopters than we had in our entire lives.

BK.

Catfish and a little bit of C4.

Catfish and a LOT of c4. This picture should scare you.

We gave out 6 brand new DK completes on this trip but Jake Lind from Minnesota already had one over there! Thanks for supporting DK Jake and more importantly thanks for doing what you do over there!

Will Anderson came out to the demo with a SAW (Semi-Automatic Weapon) but he left on a brand new DK.

Check back for more pics soon. Don’t forget to check out DK’s twitter. www.twitter.com/DKBicycles  for tons of pics from the adventure in IRAQ.

Thanks to everyone that came out to the shows in Iraq. You are the true heros of this world.
